I received an eARC, from NetGalley and the publisher, in exchange for an honest review.This is book one in The Worthingtons series. Ella Quinn is one of my favorite authors for Historical Romances... if you see her name you know you are getting a great book! Ms. Quinn's book are funny, emotional, loving, a great story... all around great books. This book was no different..I really enjoyed the chance to read it. Lady Grace Carpenter lost her parents a few years ago but not before she promised her mother that she would keep her and her siblings together. In doing so she had to go through a fight with her other relatives that felt they each should take some of the children..which would mean they would be separated. So Grace fault for her right to be their guardian. Now years later she 25 years old and the guardian of 7 children so she in now with the mind set that she will never marry. On a trip back from seeing a family member it starts to storm really bad.. so she and her servants (all male as she didn't bring a maid with her) stop to stay at an INN until the next morning. There she sees Mattheus, Earl of Worthington whom she met in her first coming out before her parents died. Grace fell in love with him back then and never thought to see him again after taking on her brothers and sisters. Grace gets the ideal that this would be her one chance to be with him for the night...a night she never thought to have. Matt fell in love with her the first time he saw her at the INN (he didn't remember meeting her before then). They had dinner together and then they had their night...the whole time Matt had planned to propose marriage. The next morning brought Grace slipping out to go home with knowledge she wouldn't see him again. Matt woke up with Grace gone and without knowing her name. Matt went into finding mode because he knew she was for him and he would not love another. This starts their great story!
